Immediate was the reaction of Konstantinos Tasoulas, to a complaint filed on November 18, at the domestic violence department of the Hellenic National Police, the wife of a police officer who served in the Security Service of the Hellenic Parliament (Hellenic Parliamentary Security Service).

As the Speaker of the Parliament told the parliamentary authors, the day after the complaint, we “dismissed” the accused police officer from the Security Service. The arrested man was brought to court on November 20 and sentenced to one year in prison with probation. After the charge against him, the policeman allegedly told his mother that he would kill himself, leading the police to search for him and take him to the army psychiatric hospital.

However, the policeman’s wife, also a police officer, who serves in another Athens department, made new allegations against him, namely sexual abuse of their four children. This “heinous” event led to a new preliminary investigation and to the removal of custody of the children from the parents, as mutual accusations between the spouses intervened.

As reported during the briefing of the parliamentary editors, the police officer in question, who had been serving in the Parliamentary Security Service since early 2019, did not carry a gun, as he had cited psychological problems.

The wife of the accused, who remains in the Army’s mental hospital, is reportedly pregnant with their fifth child.
